1. A brake system for motor vehicles, controllable in a brake-by-wire operating mode both by a driver of the vehicle and also independently of the driver of the vehicle, the brake system is operable in the brake by wire operating mode and operable in at least one fallback operating mode, in which only the operation by the driver of the vehicle is possible, comprising:
a brake pedal for the purpose of actuating a master brake cylinder having a housing, two pistons that are arranged one behind the other, at least one of the two pistons being connected to the brake pedal, which two pistons each limit two corresponding pressure chambers in the housing, upon which pistons an actuating force received from the brake pedal is exerted during actuation of the brake pedal by the driver of the vehicle and the two pistons are positioned in a starting position by return springs in the case of the brake pedal not being actuated, a pressure medium storage container that is under atmospheric pressure and having at least two storage chambers that are allocated to the pressure chambers, a travel detecting device that detects the actuation displacement of the brake pedal or the least one of the two pistons that is connected to the brake pedal, a first pressure sensor for the purpose of detecting a hydraulic pressure that is built up in the master brake cylinder by way of the actuating force received from the brake pedal, a travel simulator having a simulator release valve that conveys a haptic brake pedal sensation effect to the driver when operating in the brake-by-wire operating mode, wherein the travel simulator is connected in a hydraulic manner to one of the pressure chambers and the effect of the travel simulator can be interrupted in the fallback operating mode, a first electrically controllable pressure source that provides a brake system pressure, a second pressure sensor for detecting the brake system pressure, a pressure modulation unit that includes for each of at least one wheel brake an intake valve and an exhaust valve for adjusting the brake pressures for individual wheels of the vehicle, which brake pressures are derived from the brake system pressure, wherein in the non-actuated state, the intake valves pass the brake system pressure onto the wheel brakes and the exhaust valves interrupt the flow of pressure medium from the wheel brakes, separating valves for separating the master brake cylinder pressure chambers from the pressure modulation unit, switching valves for connecting the first electrically controllable pressure source to the pressure modulation unit in a hydraulic manner, an electronic control and regulation unit, a second electrically controllable pressure source having an output volume flow that is connected together with an output volume flow of the first electrically controllable pressure source, wherein the electronic control and regulation unit includes a first electrical circuit and a second electrical circuit, and wherein the wherein the first electrical circuit comprises a first processor and the second electrical circuit comprises a second processor, a second valve driver assembly for the separation valves and the switching valves, and a power output stage for controlling the electrical drive of the first electrically controllable pressure source; wherein the first electrical circuit further comprises a valve driver assembly for the inlet valves and the exhaust valves of the pressure modulation unit, and a pump driver for the second electrically controllable pressure source for an electric motor of a pump of the second electrically controllable pressure source. |
